AfD gains in German elections intensify debate over Europe’s rightward shift
The AfD’s strong state-election results, including 44% in Saxony-Anhalt, are being discussed as a setback for Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Germany’s established parties.[1][2][3]
Global News Podcast says the AfD’s gains have increased pressure on Merz, whose CDU had failed to stop its rise despite promising to halve its vote.[4][5]
WSJ What’s News frames the result as a possible breakthrough because an AfD-led government would be Germany’s first far-right government since World War II, while noting other parties have ostracized it.[6][7]
Several shows connect the AfD to a broader right-wing or populist shift, with Anthony Scaramucci calling victories such as the AfD’s an earthquake-like shockwave through democracies.[8][9]
The shows disagree over the party’s meaning: Iuliia Mendel presents it as promoting peace, while Tusk’s view, relayed on Up First, describes it as Russia-friendly and effectively seeking Ukraine’s capitulation.[10][11]
Anne Applebaum calls the AfD very pro-Russian, while Scott Galloway describes its extremism as established by Saxony-Anhalt’s domestic intelligence classification.[12][13]
